Review: Stay away from the 11oz size, here's why... - 2025-12-11. Vietnamese Coffee Phin by Thang Long. 11oz (large). Gravity insert. Stainless steel. There's so much to making that perfect cup of Jo that I don't even know where to begin. So, let me start by saying that I've been using Coffee Phins for over 25 years. I have two sizes, a 6oz and 10oz. Both are the screw on models. After 20 years of use, the center pin broke off my 10oz Phin (it was welded on). Needless to say, it still worked, but it wasn't the same... and so I was in search of a new Phin. These Phin's by Trung Nguyen appeared to be good quality Phins, desertcart customer's highly rate it, and these come with a LIFETIME warranty which gave me total confidence in the product. The closest size they carried to my 10oz was the 11oz, so I went with it. It was the newer "gravity press" version rather than the screw on type of my old Phins, but even with my old Phin's I never screwed the Press in, so I wasn't worried. I brewed a few cups with this phin and they were terrible every time. Upon further investigation, I concluded that the Phin Press was too small. This created a gap and allowed the grinds to float above the press, thus altering the taste of my coffee. I reached out to Fitzy (the seller) thinking they gave me a defective product (the press seemed like it was for a 10oz Phin, not 11oz). Fitzy immediately acknowledged my concern, and took full responsibility by giving me a full refund, no questions asked. 5 stars alone for the customer service and response time. Now I've been fortunate enough to try 2 other Phins (complementary of Fitzy). I have received both the screw on and the gravity insert 8oz Phins. I've used these alternately for about 2 weeks now, and I must admit, I'm very pleased with the performance from both of these. They closely resembled my old Phins. Note: my older Phins are only three pieces (the phin, the press, and the lid), but these Phins are four pieces, with the fourth being the cup plate. It acts as another filtration layer (which I'm still not used to), but doesn't alter the taste of my coffee. It takes a fraction longer to brew, but there's no discernible difference in taste. The LIFETIME warranty is good enough reason to try these Phins, but I've experienced their customer service first hand, and they don't try to weasel out of their warranty. Fitzy's integrity is 5 stars, and I highly recommend you try these Phin's (just not the 11oz for now -- Fitzy working with their manufacturer to resolve the fit issues on the press). The 8oz Phins work great and they're super versatile. They're perfect for travelling or camping, and each cup of coffee can be catered to individual tastes. Now for those that are just not getting that perfect cup in the mornings, here are some tips to using a Phin. 1. The coffee beans. With the plethora of beans out there, finding the right brand and roast is key. This may take a while, but determining this is step one. If you already have a favorite bean, you're all set and ready for step 2! 2. The grind. Aside from fresh ground being the best, how fine you grind your bean is also a factor. In general, the finer the grind, the more flavor you lose during the grinding process. Also, there are different grinds for different brewing methods. French press and Phins often recommend a medium grind. But you need to be careful, a medium grind typically results in a weaker cup of coffee when using a coffee phin (Water passes through too quickly and doesn't have enough time to extract the flavor from the coffee grounds). If you grind your own beans try the different grinds. For me I like it on the finer side, but not so fine as espresso (NB: Too fine a grind will result in grinds filtering through the holes of the phin and entering your coffee!) 3. Temperature of water. Believe it or not, this does affect the flavor. Colder water will result in flat, under-extracted coffee, water that is too hot will cause a loss in the taste of the coffee. Coffee is best brewed with water between 195°F - 205°F. Now I know what you're thinking, how do you get that when water boils at 212°F?! Well, there are water boilers out there that boil and maintain water in this range. I have an older Zojirushi water boiler that keeps water temps at 3 settings, 140°F, 194°F, 208°F. The 140°F temp is the minimum temperature required to kill bacteria, so if you're just using it as drinking water, this is the setting to use. The 194°F is for Coffee, and the 208°F is for "cooking" instant noodles. Some have a fourth temperature setting (172°F), which is designed for loose leaf teas. The ideal water temperature to steep loose leaf Green tea is 172°F. Loose leaf black teas are not as sensitive and can tolerate higher temperatures. While these water boilers are not cheap, they may be worth the investment if you use it regularly (I'm on my 2nd one in 21 years.) 4. Lastly, there's a process when using a Phin. A coffee Phin needs the grounds prepped and packed (i.e. they need to be wet.) To do this, fill the Phin with the preferred amount of coffee grounds, then slowly fill about 1/3 of the phin's capacity with water and let the coffee filter through. Make sure there's enough water to wet all the grounds. As the coffee grounds absorb the water, it will naturally "pack" the coffee grounds. This resultant coffee from "packing" the grounds will naturally be weaker coffee, you can either discard it, or you can keep it. Next insert the inner piece (screw down or gravity press) of the phin to trap the grounds in place. With the grounds "packed" you need to apply excess pressure or force when inserting the press plate. If you have the screw on type, how tight you screw it on will also affect the brew. For coarser grinds, go more tight. For finer grinds, screw until there's resistance (do not over tighten!) If you have a gravity press, then your coffee grounds should be on the finer side and you can just insert the press in place and stop once you feel resistance. Finally, fill up the Phin with water. The coffee will take 5-7 mins to brew for the large size Phin (11 oz), and still be a good drinking temperature. As with every recipe, it's dependent on personal preferences and taste. You need to constantly tweak your recipe until it's perfect for you. Short on grounds and want to stretch that last cup? Just apply more pressure with the press plate to the "Packed" grounds and it will slow down the filtering process and produce a stronger cup of coffee. Traditional Vietnamese Coffee made with a Phin has a condensed milk base. The coffee drips directly onto the condensed milk, and the ideal size phin to use is the 4oz or 6oz phin. This will brew your cup in less than 5 mins. The coffee will be hot, and still drinkable, or ready to pour over ice after mixing. If you're making espresso, go for the 4oz Phin. For a regular cup of coffee, I'd recommend the 6oz or 8oz Phin's. If you love your coffee, do what I do and make multiple cups, rather than one large one. This keeps the coffee hot and fresh. If you need to make larger amounts, rather than go for a bigger Phin, I recommend you use a different method (I use an Italian Moka or a French Press). A larger Phin may take longer to brew a cup and hence alter the drinking temperature. If you like Vietnamese style coffee, I recommend you purchase multiples of these (just not the 11oz phins -- Fitzy is working with the manufacturer in resolving the fit issue) as there is some good savings value when you purchase multiples. The extra's will come in handy with company and household or family members. They're super easy to clean, and they're great for travelling and camping!
Review: Great quality stainless steel phin at ideal 8oz size for making Vietnamese coffee/Thai ice tea - These stainless steel phins by Thang Long are excellent. I ordered a pair for myself and gifted others to two separate people. Many Vietnamese use aluminum phins, but the problem with aluminum is that it can leach into one's hot drink and cause dementia and other illnesses later on.. This does not happen with top quality stainless steel. I ordered the 8oz size, which is the "medium" size that is considered "standard" in Vietnam. The 6oz. size is too small in size and this here size feels a bit too small for me, but it is the standard size, and larger sizes apparently have a design flaw where the push down gravity insert does not fit snuggly within the filter pot portion of the 4-piece phin assembly. Coffee grounds did not fall into the cup and the heat level was fine. Recommend you pre-heat phin before using with 205 degree water, then discard the water in the glass cup (cool off that water first in some container; you don't want to hurt your pipes pouring 205 degree water in the pipes). Also, if the grounds are too coarse, the water will pour through the coffee in less than a minute. If the coarse setting is too fine, it will take forever for the water to pour through the coffee. You want about medium coarse so that it takes 4-5 minutes for the water to drip through the coffee grounds on top of the sweetened condensed milk that is traditionally sitting at the bottom of the transparent glass cup that you should use when making Vietnamese coffee so you can enjoy the drip. This phin comes with instructions on how to use. To discard the used coffee grounds (do not though into sink or toilet or you will clog the pipes and have to spend hundreds in a plumber) lay a sheet of bounty on a flat surface and with another half-piece or quarter-piece of dry bounty, slide the used coffee grounds from all of the phin parts that have coffee, then discard them inside the garbage (again, never down a sink or toilet, NEVER!).

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How is this different from a Pour Over coffee maker?**
A: A phin is NOT a pour over. The weighted filter on top prevents the ground coffee from floating upward, especially the crema. The water gradually seeps through, carrying the flavor and oils downward, so you get full extraction of the flavor. It should take five minutes for the water seep through, enough time to saturate and extract the ground coffee. Do not put a lot of water through. Make a concentrate and add water afterwards. Once you add the water, set a timer for four or five minutes and come back for your coffee. The phin is a French invention, as Vietnam was a French colony when the coffee culture was introduced. They grow some excellent coffee beans.

**Q: does using bustelo espresso grind work well with this type filter**
A: Hello, I apologize for the late reply- I only just saw this question.  I have not personally uses bustelo espresso but the filter works best with a medium to coarse grind.  Kind regards, Fitzy Shop.

**Q: I was wondering what is the standard size of the Vietnamese coffee makers sold at Asian super markets?  Not sure which size of this product to order.**
A: Apparently standard size is 8 oz, which I ordered. I got two. I may have gotten the larger size if I had realized, though. It's very caffeinated, however, so just as well.

**Q: Does the black rubber handles on the side leak black color when rubbed on/soak? i merely held it for a little and my fingers were black stained. bad**
A: I have never had this happen. Mine are small press on black covers that allow you to move it without being burned when it is full of hot water. Mine seem like normal plastic with no stains or leakage.
